I'm back with a review of this very funny and very real memoir/collection of essays. We love Phoebe Robinson, she knows how to tell you the world is a mess and somehow make you smile. In between all my laughs, I found myself feeling glad to know I'm not alone in this whole shit show. #booksky
orange background with "You Can't Touch My Hair (And Other Things I Still Have to Explain)" cover. 4.25 light blue stars. genre: memoir. blue text box: Phoebe Robinson has some things she needs to tell you. She's had a lot of experiences (good and bad) and has learned some things along the way. Phoebe Robinson takes a humorous approach to the real-life problems faced by Black people and POC. She tells you how it is, but makes that bitter pill a little easier to swallow. A funny book with some great lessons and good words to live by.

The sound of my cat cleaning herself while I try to read before needing to leave for work is… something. 😂 Her name is Athena and she looks like this. ❤️
Close up of my cat’s face: brownish with a white mouth area, pink nose. White whiskers. Picture of my cat laying on her side, showing her tummy, she’s brown and fluffy!

Apparently I'm in the minority of people as far as opinions on this book, but the suggestions sometimes are not mindful of socioeconomic issues when it comes to some of the suggestions supplied, there is an admission to using AI to help write her books, among other issues. 🤷‍♀️ #booksky #bookreview

Excuse me while I cry because this is the last Heartstopper book for a while.I think that it's a beautiful series full of a lot of good lessons, no matter your age. I've loved watching them grow into such great people. #booksky #books #reading

Heartstopper volume 4 was honestly so good. It's getting more and more tense but real and I think that it's nice to show both the good and bad of being a teenager trying to figure it all out, especially in tougher situations. #booksky #books #bookreview

However, Nick has a lot going on between worrying about Charlie's mental health struggles and thinking about his complicated relationship with his family.

Almost through posting about the series! Heartstopper volume 3 is where things started getting really real and heavy for me. I really am the biggest fan of how the characters are written so well and of how delicately these serious topics are handled. Again, I think you should read these #booksky
yellow background with Heartstopper volume 3 cover on it. 5 green stars genre: graphic novel (romance) green text square: Nick and Charlie are officially official! And now, they (along with all of their friends) take a school trip to Paris. In Heartstopper vol. 3, we get to know more about all of their friends, who they are individually and how they fit into the larger narrative. We also start to learn about Charlie’s struggles with his mental health and what it’s like noticing those patterns in someone you love.

REPOST: I didn't know you couldn't add alt text after posting, so that sucked. Anyways, I love the entirety of the Heartstopper series and all of the book reviews for the series are going to be 5 stars so just prepare for that. Alice Oseman really did the damn thing with this series. #booksky #books

First real bookish post! All I can say about this is that I love the Heartstopper series and I really think that these graphic novels are worth reading. I love Nick and Charlie and I love the care with which their story is written. #booksky
